I wish I'd found your video earlier. It's a pity that manufacturers provide nothing but the most basic instructions for using their cameras which we pay a lot of money to buy. Yours is the ONLY video I've found which is not a 'review' by 'experts' which to be honest are useless for novices such as myself. Well done Shutterbug 101 - so very helpful, I was on the verge of giving up with this camera and its 'difficult ' menus etc. I'm already feeling more confident about using the camera.

[@Shutterbug101]

People like yourself are the reason I started this channel! Thank you! Please let me know if you have any questions, I am happy to help!

[@archanakrishnakumar]

Totally agree. I was beginning to feel like I didn't know anything. This video has definitely taught me more than anybody could offer. Thank you 🙌✨

[@gangleweed]

I just bought one of these cameras as I already have an Olympus Om 4 from some years ago with lenses etc. and so liked the camera type. So, I also bought the 12-150mm lens as an all round lens solution.........at the same time I bought an OM to M4/3 adaptor so that I can use all the OM lenses I already had with my old film camera......there are hundreds of OM lenses out there going cheap.....A$25 for a 50mm F1.2 is a bargain time...... but with an adaptor at A$24 on EBAY they will work even though with manual focus and aperture.....and extension tubes and/or bellows for ultra close ups are 2 a penny in OM style. Back in the film days Nikon lenses were worth a king's ransom but today with an adaptor......pennies.

[@EricMustardman]

05:00 "So it should be fool-proof." - Most people underestimate the ingenuity of fools. ;-) Great walkthrough, though. Thank you and please keep up your good work.

[@guinhill]

Recently learned that the Flash can be used in " Flash RC Mode " it will flash low power just to trigger a more powerfull flash , when using that Flash off camera and it has a Slave Flash function.

[@dalefox7045]

Really nice overview! Have you had any experience in using this camera, or similar Olympus ones, with the 4/3rds to Micro adapter from Olympus (MMF) or aftermarket versions? Its probably not ideal to use an adapter but it will take me some time to migrate my various 4/3rds lens to the Micro versions.

[@adismith4909]

Great walk through. Just bought this camera and that has helped a lot to get me started. Just bought the Viltrox adapter so I can use my other lenses, will this give me any issues?

[@Shutterbug101]

Typically adapting lenses that are a different mount to any camera will cut down on focusing speed/ability and photo quality, so if you do find that you are unhappy with those issues, keep in mind it’s not the camera, nor the lens, it’s just that the lens was not designed to work with an Olympus system. So it will function but it may not function well lol.

[@DistractedVoice]

Wow super!! Thank you! Searching for the clip where you explain more about Program setting. Can you help me where that is?

[@muddysox1002]

thank you for a great insight into this camera, which i am considering buying. I was hoping to see the tilting view screen in action. am i right in thinking it tilts in both directions up and down, so you can see what you are shooting from above or below? This sounds like a great feature I have not seen. I have a Nikon DSLR which is big and bulky, and I haven't used for a few years. I would love to replace it with something lighter, which can also be used as an automatic point and snap style camera. i love the thought of the video function too, and was also interested to hear that there is a sort of macro function, which I didn't fully understand so shall watch again. Also, would you suggest buying a kit with an extra lens? I have seen one in the UK with a 40 - 150mm lens. Thank you again for a very in depth review.

[@Shutterbug101]

Thank you for watching! The screen does indeed tilt both up and down for those perspectives. Buying the kit with the telephoto lens would be up to your shooting preference. If you want the options to take photos of birds in your backyard or you just want to reach a bit farther than the other lens would get you then it would be a great option for you! If your primary use is for things fairly close to you and you don’t think you will use the zoom, then go with the one lens kit. Either way, I think you will enjoy this camera! Let me know if you have any other questions!

[@zhangsaining6893]

This is a super helpful walkthrough. I have a question about the button on the right side of the viewfinder/evf, where there is a rectangle with two vertical lines next to it, can you let me know what this button does? Thank you a lot!

[@Shutterbug101]

The rectangle with the two vertical lines is the LV button, or Live View. This is to turn your viewfinder on auto, on, or off. Hope this helps!

Thanks for a great video! I have a question : when I turn the (new) camera set in P mode on and hit the “quick menu” button, nothing happens. I don’t get a menu on the screen. (when I press the “menu” button on the right side of th screen, it lists camera 1,2 etc on the left, A-I in the next column, AEL/AFL in the third column. Is there some basic setting I missed? This camera is an EM-10 Mark IIIS.

[@Shutterbug101]

Does the quick menu button work in any of the other manual modes? Very Interesting!

[@BigfootBigbeard]

Would this be a good camera to take real estate photos with? I am new to photography and have a gig lined up to take some indoor shots.

[@Shutterbug101]

I believe this would be a good camera, but you may need to invest in a wider angle lens for real estate. I recommend the Panasonic 7-14mm (yes, its a Panasonic lens but will still work with the Olympus cameras). I will leave the link to it as well, and please let me know if you have any other questions! amzn.to/2Z02pPY

[@annuartv]

thanks for the great review!!! btw I wanted to connect an external mic but no mic jack, any suggestions?

[@Shutterbug101]

As this does not have the option for an external mic, I would either use your phone with the Rode Lav and app, or purchase a Zoom microphone and combine your audio with your video in post processing

[@yukonthornsaengsanoh7942]

I'm thinking to buy a second hand EM10 iii because of 4k video. Please advise the way of taking photo frames from 4K video. I ever saw from my friends who used Panasonic Lumix and they could selected the frames directly from the camera.

[@Shutterbug101]

Panasonics 4K Burst is actually exclusive to their cameras, so if you would like to do that in camera, get a Panasonic, otherwise, you can use a program on your computer to save screen grabs from the 4K images.

[@antoald]

Helloo! I loved the review, but i have a question. What kind of lens should i get for it? Is it ok to use a 1.8 50mm?

[@Shutterbug101]

It really depends on what kind of photography you want to do, but a 50mm equivalent is always a nice starter! You will want to get the 25mm lens to accomplish this.

Did you purchase this camera brand new in box?

[@timkristensson2279]

You'll have more color depth if you choose adobe rgb instead of sRGB. You can alway choose sRGB in post.

[@Shutterbug101]

That is good to know! I would advise those just getting into photography and this is a new world for them to stay on sRGB at least for now.

[@coskunay8024]

Nice video 👏👍🙂 i can not decide Sony a6000 or that camera 🤔

[@Shutterbug101]

They are both fantastic, but the Sony will give you more of that blurred background effect and better in low light situations. If neither of those is a concern, the Olympus is more travel friendly when considering their lens sizes. Either one will capture great images and both are easy to use!

[@coskunay8024]

@@Shutterbug101 thank you so much for information 🙂 I think i will buy a6000 because blurred background is imparator for me. I will take ashort cinematic videos and portrait photos of my daughter 😊 can you advice me lens for wide angle and best blurred effect.. Thanks from Turkey

[@Shutterbug101]

Sorry I am so late on the reply! Hope you are enjoying your camera! I would recommend the Tamron 20mm for the Sony E mount as it is wide and gives you a blurry background!

how to return the barrel back inside

[@cboxton7652]

I took a risk and purchased this as my first camera to learn on Amazon Used . It seems to be fine but the screen turns off if I move it around . Is that normal. I haven’t taken many pics yet . Just learning it … Update : I think I got the answer as I kept watching the video . But my face isn’t near it sometimes

[@Shutterbug101]

The sensor to trigger the viewfinder can be tripped by the camera strap or even a shadow, it can be frustrating until you adjust but it sounds like it is doing it’s job!

[@nithinparekkattil8344]

how do you change the default image format , RAW/jpeg? Thanks

[@Shutterbug101]

When you access the quick menu by pressing the button by your power switch, you will see on the screen the current size it’s set to. Use your directional pad to highlight it green, select ok, and pick your desired file type!

[@judyfletcher6098]

After watching your video, I have found that my lens is stuck inside & shutter release stuck. Have tried the Reset button. Nothing fixes it??? jf

[@Shutterbug101]

So sorry to hear this! Because this lens has the motor that extends it, if it takes an impact, or dirt/dust/moisture lands on the barrel before it retracts, the motor can get damaged or gummed up and stop working. This is common in any electronic zoom lens unfortunately. I would take it to a camera store near you to see if they can see if the motor is dead or if it just needs some assistance, but most likely you may need to invest in a new lens. Let me know if you have any other questions!

[@ekotamtomo1588]

how long does the battery last for shooting and video

[@Shutterbug101]

It varies! Depending if you do more photo or video or the temperature of where your shooting, could last anywhere from an hour to a few hours.

If anybody can help: I can't find the menu to set RAW files instead of JPEG... I read everywhere it does take RAW pictures, but it only shows JPEG in the menu

I have found the easiest way to change your image quality is by using the quick menu, which is the button at the top all the way to the left. You would then use your directional buttons to go to the bottom big square that is somewhat bottom center and move it from its JPEG setting to RAW! 9:41 is the box you want to be in.

@@Shutterbug101 Hi again. Which is the best setup? 1 spot, 9, or the entire grid.I have had the E-M10 Mark III for about 6 weeks and really enjoy it. I have the Canon M6 Mark II which is a great camera as well. Do you think it makes sense to trade my Olympus for the Mark IV that is coming soon? Thanks, Gene

[@Shutterbug101]

When it comes to your focusing area, it all depends on what your capturing and how much you would like it to try and grab focus. Think of it like this: your taking a photo of a person standing from head to toe in the frame, the entire grid is for whole body/front priority, 9 grid would be for the upper body or face, 1 spot would be for the nose/eye. The more you narrow it down in numbers, the more specific you can be with your focusing! The mark IV’s biggest differences from the Mark III is that it has 20mp vs the 16mp rate so sharper images but less low light capability, has a 15 FPS continuous drive vs the 8.5 FPS, and is a bit lighter than the mark III. It’s all preference, but over all very similar features and the same processor. You will just have to determine if those changes are worth the exchange! Let me know if you have any other questions!
